Description
A TSH (Thyroid Simulating Hormone) test is a blood test that measures this hormone. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located near your throat. Your thyroid makes hormones that regulate the way your body uses energy. It also plays an important role in regulating your weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and even your mood.
Precaution
It is recommended to get the tests done in the morning, as the TSH levels can fluctuate throughout the day.
